Look up at the blue titanium-and-glass four-storey, 140-foot-tall south wing of the Gallery overlooking Grange Park. It is where we exhibit contemporary art and there’s also a space for special events. Architect Frank Gehry’s building beautifully frames the Grange House, which he remembers visiting with his grandparents when he was eight years old.
You’re in Grange Park, the big front yard of The Grange, the manor house from 1817 that’s connected to the back of the AGO. Now surrounded by tall buildings, the park features this Henry Moore sculpture called Large Two Forms. Moore liked to make BIG sculptures! He liked to put them outside, so the change of seasons would change how they look.
Things to do in Grange Park:
If you could design a museum, what would it look like? Draw your museum of the future. What artwork would you put in the park?
What does your final composition look like? What would you try if you did it again? Share it with us at #AGOmakes @AGOToronto
